AV--Well, I actually have a few free moments it seems, so I will try to sneak as much stuff in as possible. Thanks for your comments, Patrick. I will pass them along to my wife. Everything is actually going better than I expected. He looks much better than when he had knee surgery this past summer. Actually, it looks as if he will be up and around faster than his last surgery. Funny thing is that he cut out the sweets, fats, cholesterol, salts, and other harmful stuff more than a year ago and has lost 30 lbs due to diet and exercise. So go figure, clean off your windshield of some ice, take a few shovels full of snow off the sidewalks, and then clutch your chest. Clean living brought this on as far as I can surmise.<GGG> Anyway, all is calm and his sense of humor is back. He claims he did this on purpose to get out of buying presents for his wife, 4 kids, 4 daughter/son in laws and 16 grandchildren this year and force Grandma to do it all by herself. Okay, for the record, the following is a paid political announcement of a stock that has been talked about on this thread. The originator is unknown so I cannot give credit where credit is due. Step forward and be recognized since this is not an original idea. However, it is a company that was brought to our attention and which I became interested in. It has made my short list for 1998 and is actively on my radar screen.

AV ---Cautionary Note: Personally, this is a buyer beware notice on my part. A Qucik look at the charts for this company and the history of it leads me to be very cautious. I also would like to share this caution, expecially when one of the contact persons is the CEO himself. Mike should be doing other things, dontcha think???? Andrew Paradigm Technology Receives $1 Million Fast SRAM Order Business Wire - December 15, 1997 09:27 MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 1997--Paradigm Technology Inc. (Nasdaq:PRDM) Monday announced it has received approximately $1 million of new orders for its fast SRAM devices from a major electronics customer. The customer is using Paradigm's fast SRAMs in a telecommunications product introduced last year. "We are very pleased to receive these major orders," said Michael Gulett, president and chief executive officer. "Paradigm has always specialized in producing very fast SRAMs ahead of the competition. This particular customer first began ordering this very fast SRAM device about a year ago and has recently dramatically increased its order rate. These orders are expected to be reflected in Paradigm's revenues over the next few months," he added. With headquarters in Milpitas, Paradigm Technology designs, develops and markets high-speed, high-density SRAM semiconductor devices to meet the needs of advanced telecommunications, networking, workstations, high-performance computers, advanced modems and complex military/aerospace applications. The company focuses on high-performance sub-10ns SRAMs where its technology and product design leadership can best be utilized. Paradigm maintains a Web site at www.prdm.com . NOTE: Bookings, backlog and individual customer orders may not be a reliable measure of sales for future periods. Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this news release are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the impact of competitive products and pricing, the timely development and market acceptance of new products and upgrades to existing products' availability and cost of products from Paradigm's suppliers, industry-wide shifts in supply and demand for semiconductor products, government actions and other risks detailed from time to time in Paradigm's SEC reports and filings.

Self, 818/880-5437 UPDATE: Same type of Product but a different company (one that holds a great deal more credibility for me personally) CYPRESS SEMI. (down 1 at 7-9/16 @ 11:55 a.m. ET) said it will not meet analysts' expectations for the 4Q ending December 29. In a press release, the company said estimates for revenues and earnings are $152 million-to-$155 million in revenues and $0.09 to $0.10 in EPS. The company's current estimates are for revenues in the range of $140 million-to-$143 and earnings per share in the range of breakeven to 1 cent per share. Cypress said there are two causes for the $12 million revenue shortfall: a $5 million shortfall in wafer-foundry revenue due to lower orders from their foundry customers, and a $10 million shortfall in static RAM (SRAM) revenue due to a timing problem in shipping by the quarter-end cutoff.
